Game Time Mother’s Day Thread!

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 11, 2014

Unfortunately, I know the reality of all mothers not being created equal. I got to spend the morning with my fantastic mother this morning and it was the perfect start to one of the best days of the year. I hope you all get to do the same or honor your mom however you see fit. Great day for a game. Go Giants.

Absolutely. Give me a shout when you want to do this . . . Side note – only bad thing about being at my Mom’s house (at least until tomorrow, when they go on their Alaska cruise), is that I can’t yell “FUCK” at the top of my lungs when my fantasy players do a face plant as Gio Gonzalez and Marcus Stroman did today. 🙂

I know what his shortcoming are, his BA sucks and he’s got average to below average range. But his arm is strong and he hits dongs. If we had a healthy Scoots right now would you want him playing instead of Hicks? I don’t think I would…..

Hudson at 78 was done. Besides the first pitch (aarrgh) belt high one on inside corner to Puig that left the yard, after the mistake by defense on Hanley’s ball he gave up 2 more hits. Good thing Pagan gunned down A Gon.

Boy, second guessers will be all over Mattingly for pitching to Posey with base open.

Hate the Dodgers. That said amazing factoid in OC register today. Greinke has TWENTY starts in a row with 2 runs or less. Next closest in baseball history is 14.

Decisions like that re Posey int walk and pitching to Sandoval. Unreal. Why anyone pitches to Posey ever with Sandoval behind his is crazy. A reminder when we are dissing his decisions occasionally that we are SO lucky to have Bochy

Sportdude – you are spot on. I know the bay area papers will discuss/mention this, but I am looking forward to reading the LA Times tomorrow and see what they say about Donnie Baseball’s faux pas. What an idiot.

I’m not sure if there’s a worse current commercial than the Mercedes one with Sergio and his dad. It’s just awful. Anyway, I’m wondering if his dad high fived the dude next to him after that Hanley dong or if he said “FUCKING WHORE” like I did……

You just barely got drafted. Be humble. Focus on the task ahead. If Manziel had posted a pic like this (yes, I know it was his boyfriend and not Sam who posted this) people would have called him out as a fool.
Are you about succeeding in the NFL? Or are you about carrying the gay pride torch? Seriously question. And if the answer is “both” then tone it down, do something in the NFL and then start posting pics like this.
End of rant……..

How do you spell S_A_T_I_S_F_A_C_T_I_O_N ? Get knocked down in the bottom of the 9th where your closer gets dingered by HanRam to tie the score and then come back vs their closer, Kenley Jansen, and tack on a trio to pop em, take the series in the LaBumbos own latrine and come off a taxing 10 game road-trip with a 7-3 happy flight back to SFO, leading the Rox by two and the Bums by 4.5 in the NLW and presently enjoying the best record in the game. Oh, and to add irony to insult, Romo not only gets his first blown save of the season but also his 3rd W.

Are we in their heads yet? Or as Yahoo Sports described today’s adventure, Giants defeat the “worst team Money can buy”.

Bochy’s a genius with that Murderers’ Row lineup today! 🙂
The Bench From Hell played like……the bench from hell, but others rose to the occasion, and lifted the Giants to victory. Hicks’ HR off Kershaw sent the same kind of message that Pill’s HR against Kershaw did in 2012: ‘Not THIS year, Kersh.’
Tough break for Romo; but, hey, what a TOTALLY AWESOME way for a pitcher to vulture a win. It’ll be legendary. 🙂 🙂

I can’t remember the last time I was that jacked over a win before the All Star break. We beat Kershaw. That alone is huge. Then, throw in that we beat him in LA with Arias, Adrianza, and Perez all in the starting line-up! And, we came up off the mat after Hanley’s homer to pull out the win over Jansen. Throw in a bunch of great defensive plays and many other exciting/frustrating plays and it was one of the most entertaining games I’ve ever seen.

I would like to say I hope this game removes all the negativity and quote on quote predictions forever.
was a beautiful series and an outstanding road trip. the only thing that went wrong today was that Hudson didn’t get the win
